20 Supremely Gory Movie Deaths You Won't Believe Weren't Censored

11. Hannibal €“ Ray Liotta

hannibal brains €˜He€™s showing brain€™, literally in reference to Ray Liota€™s character of agent Paul Krendler. Ridley Scott€™s adaptation to the critically acclaimed, Oscar Winning Box office smash Silence of the Lambs split audiences and critics€™ opinions. Agent Starling (now played by Julianne Moore) stumbles in on Dr Lecter who has Krendler sat at a table, heavily sedated and wearing a baseball cap.Starling herself is just recovering from being drugged and can do little more than sit herself down at the table as Lexter proceeds to pour them wine and unveil his portable grill. On the menu €“ brain. He removes Liotta€™s cap, then removes the top of his skull. Next he slices off a thin piece of brain and cooks it.

10. Sin City €“ Elijah Wood

We see very little of the gore in this death scene in Robert Rodrigues€™ still yet to be followed up adaptation of Frank Millar€™s Sin City. And yet the little we do see is far less gruesome than what Marv tells Kevin he has done. Wood plays the sadistic Kevin; a misunderstood man-child with a thirst for human flesh, who receives a bloody retribution when he runs afoul of Mickey Rourke€™s Marv. Wood is propped up against a tree with both his arms and legs being sliced off and forced to listed to Marv detail what he just did to Wood. Then a hungry dog arrives and feasts on Wood (which we only see in silhouette), who €œdoesn€™t scream€ he just sits there and stares at me€ and even smiles. Then with a saw Marv finishes the job and does what a million Orcs and all of Mordor failed to do €“ kill Elijah Wood.

Frustratingly argumentative writer, eater, reader and fanatical about film ‘n’ food and all things fundamentally flawed. I have been a member of the WhatCulture family since it was known as Obsessed with Film way back in the bygone year of 2010. I review films, festivals, launch events, award ceremonies and conduct interviews with members of the ‘biz’. Follow me @FilmnFoodFan In 2011 I launched the restaurant and food criticism section. I now review restaurants alongside film and the greatest rarity – the food ‘n’ film crossover. Let your imaginations run wild as you mull on what that might look like!
